“One of Canada’s foremost contemporary landscape painters … Bruce’s paintings honour tradition but have branched out into his own distinctive style. His work has a great amount of depth and complexity, and I have much admiration for it.”
— John Hartman

“… An artist in the great and wonderful tradition of Canadian landscape paintings, but an artist whose vision is still fresh and invovative … If Bruce had been born two generations ago, it surely would have been called the Group of Eight.”
— Charles F. Scott
